We just got back from Denver where we had a GREAT time shooting some clothing lines and visiting Uncle Matt. I spent the day shooting with my good friend Kim Larson - she is AWESOME!! It was sunny and warm and we had a great time walking around the city looking for brightly colored walls and fun textures to use as backdrops. We thought it would be fun to bring along the flip video so we could share with you what goes on while trying to photograph young children. :) These are 2 of my girls Olivia and Naomi modeling some new pieces from Gocks Frocks. (while baby Amelia watches and cheers us on from her stroller) This is my first time loading a video so please let me know if it works!!! I am also attaching the image we created during this shoot. Enjoy!!!

I just finished up a shoot for La Couture Amore. Check her out on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/La-Couture-Amore/129203460471687 We had SOOOOO much fun, these outfits she sent were pure JOY!!! My girls had a blast putting on these fun skirts and crazy fun hair accessories. I could't even sleep the night before because my wheels were turning as to how I was going to shoot them. I decided to rearrange my bedroom since I have wonderful afternoon light that comes through. My hubby was enjoying having to move our very heavy king size bed and bring baby Amelia's dresser in. LOL!! It was so worth it though - I just LOVE these pics!!!! Stephanie has been the most FABULOUS person to work with as well - I just LOVE her!!! Stroll over to her page and check out her treasures!!!

It wasn't that long ago when I wrote down my dream...to shoot a clothing catalog. After reading a book on making your dreams come true I got inspired and just had to do this. Well, only a few months later I am so excited to say I just completed my first catalog!!!!! Last night I finished shooting the picture for the back cover and today while Amelia was napping I was able to finish desgning the very last page!!!!!! The catalog is for Jessiegirlclothing and the dresses and skirts are ADORABLE!!! Feel free to contact Vicki to get your own copy!!! It went to the printer today so it should not be too long and she will be mailing them out.

Oh, and also I received the most WONDERFUL package in the mail today from http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/La-Couture-Amore/129203460471687 and I am in just awe!! It is the most exciting package of goodies I have ever seen!!! My wheels are just spinning coming up with different ideas of how to set everything up - think shabby chic/vintage!!! I can't wait to share more!!!!!

Here is a sneak peek of the cover for the Jessiegirlclothing catalog...

I was starting to get really excited about spring and then we got 5 inches of snow today!!! Oh goodness I need things to warm up so I can get outdoors to do some shooting. We are heading to Denver, CO next week and so I am thrilled to have some sunshine and warmer weather. The past couple of weeks I have been working on the new spring catalog for Jessiegirlclothing that should be finished up in just a few days. Last night we shot the cover photo and I later realized my little Naomi had a fever!! Such a sport, she was still smiling so she could get ice cream. I explained that we had to put the ice cream on hold until she was feeling a bit better. The other girls had no problem jumping in and filling their bowls though. I will be sure to post some pics of the catalog, but in the meantime here is what we are looking at for the cover possibly...
